Crossed over into Laos from the Chiang Saen Io... stayed one night at the SV hotel.. walking distance from Laos IO... next day I returned to Laos IO to return.. the IO man said "tomorrow"... I held up my left hand with my wedding ring and said "today" he stamped me out... Yes ... this is not a guaranty for everyone... most likely I just got lucky with IO man...Empathy

I can be such an idiot sometimes.... I totally missed the word "or" in the following paste....."Recent bank statement showing the applicant's name and ending balance of no less than $15,000 or proof of monthly income of not less than $1,500/month) along with the current bank statement showing incoming income." ........ nothing to worry about now... thanks for your responses Tod..
